traveling -- My family and I can relate to the Hugo experience in 1989 in the Charleston, SC area. It seemed to take forever to have piles of debris and wreckage picked up, mosquitoes feeding on everyone, smells from the rivers because sewage treatment plants were not working, electricity soon came back on line after three weeks (a great gift after so much generator noise), and rats and snakes crawling out of so many piles of debris. Even the alligators were confused as to where they should be, so we couldn't let our dog out into the back yard. Rockport by having the fair is pushing some sense of normalcy to show that life must go on (even though visually it doesn't look and feel that way).
